Perhaps you recognize this movie, it's a movie of Claude Lelouch shot in 1976, showing a high speed drive through Paris. The car he drove with was a Mercedes 450 SEL but the sound was from his Ferrari 275GTB. By adding this sound he probably reached the effect of a fast(er) driving car. Though it's obvious the car drove fast, the exact speed is uncertain because of the sound effect. Calculations of a top speed difference between 140km/u and 240km/u. But no one is quite sure. Lelouch says he topped round 230-240km/h. Alongside the high speed, Lelouch did some other crazy things, ignoring red lights, driving the wrong way in one way streets, driving on the sidewalk etc.
Because of these things there was and still is a lot of commotion round this movie, and it is now said to be the most radical car movie of all time. I think it's a great movie, driving with a classic car through a magnificent city. Would like to drive the route my own sometime, same circumstances, same speed, other car, would be lovely...
